Entertainment Godfather

Edogawa Ranpo Prize event.

The award ceremony has not officially started yet, and many seniors in the reasoning world have already appeared at the scene.

There were countless chairs at the scene, and each chair had a corresponding name, including the names of some very powerful mystery writers in the industry written on the chairs.

In addition, many reporters from major media were shuttled back and forth on the scene, looking for some people to interview. When Taro Ogawa first entered the scene, he was pulled by a good-looking female reporter and interviewed enthusiastically.

The other party first praised the shortlisted work "Ogawa Taro".

Then, the female reporter turned to ask another question: "What do you think of Teacher Theking?"

Taro Ogawa answered honestly: "For me, Mr. Theking is undoubtedly a high mountain. Although we are both newcomers, I know there is still a big gap between me and Mr. Theking. I will continue to work hard on this."

The female reporter seemed a little dissatisfied with the answer and asked, "Don't you think Teacher Theking is actually just a stronger opponent?"

Taro Ogawa smiled. Anyone who can write excellent mystery novels cannot be a fool. The cleverness in this female reporter's words has been seen through by Taro Ogawa. As long as he dares to follow what this female reporter said, tomorrow The news will become——

[Ogawa Taro is not convinced and threatens to challenge Mr. Theking. 】

[The most arrogant newcomer in history, Taro Ogawa: Mr. Theking is not insurmountable. 】

Taro Ogawa didn't want to appear on tomorrow's news page in this way. He looked at the female reporter with a look that looked like a fool, and then said: "I am a fan of Mr. Theking's books. I like "White Night Journey" and "Suspicion" very much. "Devotion of Humanity", I will not challenge my idol."

After saying that, Taro Ogawa turned around and left, not bothering to pay attention to the inevitable disappointment in the eyes of the female reporter.

Maybe he doesn't mind being in the limelight, and he even fantasizes about the Edogawa Rampo Award being an upset, killing Mr. Theking, and winning the trophy himself.

But he really didn't dare to provoke Teacher Theking with words. The latter has become a being like Senior Endouma. Once he says something wrong or expresses his disdain for Teacher Theking, then Theking A teacher’s massive fans can make his death ugly.

When he walked to the seat assigned to him by the Edogawa Ranpo Prize, Ogawa Taro couldn't help but look around.

He is also a newcomer and has just started to enter the world of reasoning. He is qualified to enter this venue because of his good performance as a Virgo. In fact, many famous seniors in the venue have already made Taro Ogawa feel intimidated and he did not even dare to come forward to say hello. .

A voice suddenly sounded in my ears: "Hi, you must be Taro Ogawa, right?"

Taro Ogawa was stunned for a moment, then looked at the other party: "Yes, eh, you seem to be Nagasaki..."

This is a young man who is not tall and wears glasses. Ogawa Taro has seen the other person's photo in a mystery magazine, and because the other person and himself were shortlisted for the Edogawa Ranpo Award, Ogawa Taro is not too unfamiliar with the other person.

The two shook hands and started chatting.

According to the rhythm of the Edogawa Ranpo Awards in previous years, it would be difficult for these two people to get along well.

After all, the two people's official positions are still rivals, but this year is an exception, because both Ogawa Taro and Nagasaki know in their hearts that they are here to accompany them this year, and the chance of winning the prize is so small as to be non-existent.

After chatting for a while, Nagasaki suddenly said: "I wonder if Teacher Theking will show up today."

Taro Ogawa said: "There is also a discussion on the Internet. In my opinion, Mr. Theking will not appear tonight because he has always been very mysterious."

Nagasaki nodded, glanced across the venue, and said with a smile: "Ogawa-kun, have you noticed that there are many seniors here today. As far as I know, the previous Edogawa Ranpo Awards will not There are so many seniors showing up.”

"Needless to say, it must be because of Teacher Theking."

Not only ordinary book fans are curious about Mr. Theking’s true identity, but even the masters in the Japanese reasoning world are full of curiosity about Mr. Theking. For this purpose, they specially attended the Edogawa Ranpo Awards, even though there is a high possibility that Mr. Theking will not appear.

"Look at the door, it seems that Teacher Endouma is here too!"

"It seems to be true. Teacher Endouma also wants to see who defeated him."

Both Nagasaki and Ogawa Taro stared at the door. Standing there was Endoma, who was surrounded by reporters. Although the latter lost to Mr. Theking, his status in the world of Japanese mystery novels , still extremely high.

As time passed bit by bit, tonight's Edogawa Ranpo Awards finally began, and the host came on stage.

After some nonsense, the host said: "Let's take a look at this year's shortlisted works, which are Nagasaki's "Yisho Murder", Ogawa Taro's "Shadow", Mr. Theking's "White Night", Mr. Theking "The Devotion of Suspect X"!

The title host is very interesting.

When talking about Nagasaki and Taro Ogawa, they always call them by their first names.

But when it came to Theking, the host consciously added the word "teacher" at the end.

Also, there are really not many people in the reasoning world who can call out the pen name Theking calmly. Everyone subconsciously adds the word teacher after it. Even some seniors, when improving Theking, always call them Teacher Theking. .

Nagasaki and Taro Ogawa didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

According to the process, the shortlisted works have to be introduced. After briefly introducing the four shortlisted works, the host continued: "Now is the most exciting part. Let us take a look at the selected works for this session. Who is the winner of the Togawa Ranpo Prize?”

The music became tense, and even Nagasaki and Ogawa Taro clenched their fists slightly.

Although I knew that the two of them were accompanying runners, there was still a desire in my heart. What if they were upset, what if the judges were mad, what if Teacher Theking's behavior of not attending made Edogawa angry. What about the organization of the Ranpo Prize?

The host's voice became louder: "The winner of this year's Edogawa Ranpo Award is Mr. Theking's "The Devotion of Suspect X"!"

Applause suddenly rang out, and disappointment flashed across the faces of Nagasaki and Ogawa Taro, but they also applauded because they had expected this situation, so although they were inevitably disappointed, they did not let the negative emotions spread further. .

Immediately afterwards, a representative from Kadokawa Publishing House came on stage to receive the award for Mr. Theking.

As expected by countless people, Mr. Theking, who has always been famous for his mystery, did not attend the Edogawa Rampo Award. Since the Nobel Prize for Literature in Luoyang, the Dragon Kingdom, it has become a tradition for geniuses to not accept the award after winning the award. It is a pity that Unfortunately, this tradition is really unfriendly to the runners.
